Woodworking Lubricants

Lubie® #8

A blend of low viscosity synthetic oil lubricants designed for high performance applications. Lubie® #8 is designed to lubricate, cool and retard resin and pitch build-up on band saw blades, circular saw blades and other wood tooling. Lubie® #8 provides over three times the lubricating strength of diesel fuel or vegetable oils. Many mills use Lubie® #8 to lubricate the headrig ways and carriage wheels and rails.

Lubie® #8 replaces diesel fuel in spray and wick systems on headrigs and line bar resaws. Mills using about 2 quarts per shift of Lubie® #8 find the cost equal to diesel fuel while eliminating the fire hazard, personal safety and odor problems of diesel.

  • Lubie® #8 is moderate in cost, odorless, not a skin irritant, is non toxic, biodegradable, has FDA approval and is environmentally friendly.
  • It does not contain any chemicals listed in SARA Title III, Section 313 or in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.
  • Lubie® #8 does not contain silicones and will not stain or discolor wood.

Lubie® #8 is most effectively applied through Lubie® 900® spray systems which give the ultimate in application and volume adjustment. Wick, drip and other spray systems have run Lubie® #8 effectively.
